A nickel complex of 2,2-dicyanoethylene-1,1-dithiolate, a catalyst for electrochemical and photochemical driven hydrogen evolution

Computational Study on Reduction Potential of [CoP4N2(OH2)2]2+ as a Super-Efficient Catalyst in Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution

Hydrogen is considered as a unique choice for future world’s resources. The important parameter in the process of hydrogen production is the value of reduction potential for the used catalyst, in direct contact with consumed energy in process. The application of computational methods to design and modify molecular catalysts is highly regarded. This study sought to explore Density Functional...

Nanocomposite of MoS2 on ordered mesoporous carbon nanospheres: A highly active catalyst for electrochemical hydrogen evolution

Molybdenum phosphide: a new highly efficient catalyst for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction.

Molybdenum phosphide was adopted as a new electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction for the first time, exhibiting an excellent electrocatalytic activity with a small Tafel slope of 60 mV dec(-1), which is amongst the most active, acid-stable, earth abundant HER electrocatalysts reported to date.

Electrochemical hydrogenation of a homogeneous nickel complex to form a surface adsorbed hydrogen-evolving species.

A Ni(II) complex degrades electrochemically in the presence of acid in acetonitrile to form an electrode adsorbed film that catalytically evolves hydrogen. Comparison with a similar compound permitted investigation of the degradation mechanism.

Light-driven hydrogen production from aqueous solutions based on a new Dubois-type nickel catalyst.

In this work, we report a new photocatalytic system that links multifunctional semiconductor nanocrystals with emerging water-soluble molecular catalysts made of earth-abundant elements for H2 generation [Ni(P2RN2R')2(BF4)2]4-, R = Ph, R' = [PhSO3]- (NiS). This noble metal free hybrid exhibits remarkable catalytic activity with a turnover number of 511 for H2 production and a photon-to-H2 conve...
